HelpRe: Second Chance - Should I take it?
in reply to a message by Malk
You think you'd use Thistle? You say you use the others' middles. You really want to use it the same way?
If only the word weren't so blah and awkward sounding, I'd totally endorse changing it. Caledonia would be nicer. Anyway the honoring thing seems fairly trivial and semi-random IMO. Seems to me like you must just be fond of the idea of a girl named Thistle. Which is okay.
I think if you change it, changing it to Lumi Maeve Thistle instead of Lumi Thistle Maeve would be better. Then she could drop it more easily if she dislikes it. But probably she won't dislike it that much. It's interesting, at least, and distinctive.
IIWY I'd not change it though. I'd just get over it. There are lots of great nicks for Katherine that could fit.

Caledonia is too long and too similar to her sister's name. It almost was her sister's name.
It may seem trivial and random to you, but we're staunch independence supporters and as we're not able to live at home, honouring it in someway does feel important to me.
I can't change it now due to needing her passport to go home for the referendum in the autumn, but think I will try living with it verbally for a while and see how we feel.
